US President-elect Joe Biden says local election officials and workers endured threats of violence and verbal abuse while ensuring democracy prevailed in the November election.
In a speech after the Electoral College affirmed his victory, Biden said the threats were “simply unconscionable.”
But he says workers showed courage and commitment to free and fair elections in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.
Biden says Donald Trump’s lawyers brought “dozens and dozens and dozens” of legal challenges, but each time they were found to be without merit.
Trump is still refusing to admit Biden clearly won the November 3rd election.
